Its a new year and we have a new topic in Junior Infants. We are focusing, for the month of January, on different aspects of having a healthy body. First up, eating a broad and balanced diet!

Today we had a very exciting tasting session where we got the chance to taste lots of different fruits and vegetables! We tried bananas, sugar snap peas, peppers, pears, carrots, oranges, strawberries, mushrooms, lettuce, celery and pineapple. Most children tried everything, with lots of children discovering lots of new foods that they like!

We kept track of our tasting and noted our opinions on each food. There wasn’t any food left at the end as the children hoovered up all the healthy goodness! Apologies to mum and dad if there is no room for dinner tonight!
